Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide for Linux Converting your Instance Store-Backed AMI to an Amazon EBS-Backed AMI [ec2-user ~]$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key_id [ec2-user ~]$ export AWS_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_access_key 4. Prepare an Amazon EBS volume for your new AMI. a. Create an empty Amazon EBS volume in the same Availability Zone as your instance using the ec2-create-volume command. Note the volume ID in the command output. Important This Amazon EBS volume must be the same size or larger than the original instance store root volume. [ec2-user ~]$ ec2-create-volume --size 10 --region us-west-2 --availab ility-zone us-west-2b VOLUME volume_id 10 us-west-2b creating 2014-01-24T23:11:45+0000 standard b. Attach the volume to your Amazon EBS-backed instance using the ec2-attach-volume command. [ec2-user ~]$ ec2-attach-volume volume_id -i instance_id --device /dev/sdb --region us-west-2 ATTACHMENT volume_id instance_id /dev/sdb attaching 2014-0124T23:15:34+0000 5. Create a folder for your bundle. [ec2-user ~]$ mkdir /tmp/bundle 6. Download the bundle for your instance store-based AMI to /tmp/bundle using the ec2-download-bundle command. [ec2-user ~]$ ec2-download-bundle -b my-s3-bucket/bundle_folder/bundle_name -m image.manifest.xml -a $AWS_ACCESS_KEY -s $AWS_SECRET_KEY --privatekey /path/to/pk-HKZYKTAIG2ECMXYIBH3HXV4ZBEXAMPLE.pem -d /tmp/bundle 7. Reconstitute the image file from the bundle using the ec2-unbundle command. a. Change directories to the bundle folder. [ec2-user ~]$ cd /tmp/bundle/ b. Run the ec2-unbundle command. [ec2-user bundle]$ ec2-unbundle -m image.manifest.xml --privatekey /path/to/pk-HKZYKTAIG2ECMXYIBH3HXV4ZBEXAMPLE.pem 8. Copy the files from the unbundled image to the new Amazon EBS volume.
